Definition of Fence Demolition and Removal
Fence demolition and removal involve the systematic dismantling and disposal of fencing materials from a property. This process not only clears the space but also prepares the area for new projects or restorations. Learn more about our approach to
light demolition and hauling.
Importance of Fence Demolition and Removal
Removing an old or damaged fence is essential for maintaining the safety and aesthetics of your property. It allows for the installation of new fencing that better suits your current needs and enhances your home or business's overall appearance and value.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF FENCES
Each fence type comes with its own set of removal challenges. Let's dive into the specifics of each to ensure we're prepared for what lies ahead.
Wooden Fences
Wooden fences are a classic choice, loved for their natural beauty. But when they start showing signs of rot or termite damage, it might be time for them to go. Taking these fences down usually means cutting through the damaged wood and pulling out the posts that are stuck in the ground. For examples of our work, see our projects in Newark, Delaware.
Vinyl Fences
Vinyl fences are great because they last a long time and don't need much upkeep. However, if they get hit hard enough or face extreme weather, they can crack or break. Removing them typically involves taking apart the panels and posts, which might be snapped together with special clips or screws.
Chain Link Fences
Chain link fences are everywhere, from backyards to businesses, thanks to their durability. But if they start to rust or you're changing up your space, off they go. This means untangling the metal mesh from its posts and cutting the metal with the right tools.
Metal Fences
Metal fences, like those made of wrought iron, are as tough as they are elegant. But if you need to remove one, be ready for a challenge. They're heavy and built strong, so you might need to cut through metal and carefully take apart each piece to avoid damaging anything around it.
Composite Fences
Composite fences mix wood and plastic for a durable and attractive fence. Removing these can be tricky because you have to disassemble panels and posts, which can be complex due to the mixed materials. If you're also considering a deck removal, check out our deck removal service.

WHEN TO CONSIDER FENCE DEMOLITION AND REMOVAL
Thinking about taking down your fence? Here are some reasons why it might be time to say goodbye.
Age of the Fence
Old fences not only look bad, but they can also be unsafe if they're not holding up well anymore. When fences get old, they're more likely to get damaged by weather and other factors, leading to the decision to remove them.
Damage to the Fence
Whether it’s from a storm, an accident, or just time passing, fences can get damaged. When the damage is bad enough, the fence might not do its job well anymore, making it time for it to go to keep your property safe and looking good.
Future Plans for the Space
Maybe you have new plans for your yard or property that require a change. If you're thinking about a new garden, adding on to your home, or just want more open space, removing an old or unneeded fence could be the first step in bringing those plans to life.
TOOLS NEEDED FOR FENCE DEMOLITION AND REMOVAL
Getting the job done right starts with having the right tools in hand. Here's a look at what we use to make fence removal a breeze. For all round cleanout after demolition, learn see our house cleanouts service.
Power Saw
A power saw is our go-to for quickly cutting through wood, vinyl, or composite fences. It helps us efficiently break down large sections into easier-to-manage pieces, saving time and effort.
Sledgehammer
With everything safe, we start taking apart the kitchen, bit by bit. We’ll remove cabinets, countertops, and plumbing fixtures carefully, aiming to keep everything as tidy as possible. This methodical approach helps us save anything that can be reused or given a new home, showing our commitment to doing things in an eco-friendly way.
Pliers and Screwdriver
The little details matter, too. That's why pliers and screwdrivers are essential for taking out nails, screws, and other small fasteners. It's the careful work that helps us take everything apart cleanly.
Shovels
When it's time to dig out fence posts or clear away what's left of the fence base, a good shovel is invaluable. It's all about digging in the right way to get the job done without leaving a big mess behind.
Pry bars
Lifting and separating fence panels and posts from where they're attached is easier with pry bars. They let us apply just the right amount of force, so we can take the fence apart without damaging your property.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING FENCE DEMOLITION AND REMOVAL
Safety is always our number one concern, keeping everyone safe while we work. Here's how we make sure the demolition goes smoothly and safely.
Safety Gear
Our team gears up with all the right safety equipment—gloves to protect our hands, goggles to guard our eyes, hard hats, and boots strong enough to keep our feet safe. This way, we're protected from cuts, debris, and anything else that might come our way.
Checking for Utilities
We're careful to check for any buried utilities before we start. Hitting a gas line or an electric cable by accident could be dangerous, so we make sure to avoid that. It's an important step for keeping everyone safe.
Safe handling of Tools
Knowing how to use our tools safely is key. We make sure everyone on our team is trained on how to use each tool the right way. This keeps us safe from injuries and makes sure we can take down your fence without any hitches.
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS OF FENCE DEMOLITION
Let's walk you through how we take down your fence, making sure every step is done right.
1
Removing the Gates
We start by taking off any gates. This opens up the area, making the rest of the job easier and helping us move on to the next steps without any obstacles.
2
Cutting Down the Fence
Next, we get to cutting the fence into sections. It's not about cutting randomly; we plan our cuts to make the pieces easy to handle and remove, ensuring we don’t harm your yard or garden.
3
Dismantling the Posts
Once the fence panels are out of the way, we tackle the posts. They can be tough, especially if cement holds them down, but we've got the know-how to get them out gently, keeping your ground as intact as possible.
4
Removing the Fence Base
Any leftover base or bits of concrete? We'll clear that out too. Our goal is to not just remove the fence but to leave a clean and clear area ready for whatever you've got planned next.
STEPS IN FENCE REMOVAL
Taking down the fence is just part of the job. Here’s what we do to make sure your space is perfectly clear and clean afterward.
Disposing of the Fence Materials
We carefully sort and dispose of the old fence, recycling what we can and responsibly getting rid of the rest. It’s important to us that we leave your property clean and do our bit for the environment too.
Cleaning the Area
After the fence is gone, we clean up any leftover mess, picking up debris and ensuring the area looks neat and tidy. We pride ourselves on leaving your space better than we found it, ready for your next project.
Preparing the Ground for Future Use
To wrap up, we smooth out any rough spots left from the demolition, making sure the ground is even and ready for anything new you have planned. Whether it’s a new fence or a different project, we leave the area prepped and ready for action.
